In this week’s message, The Requirements of Joyful Relationships, Pastor Keith Cross teaches from Philippians 2:25–30 on the example of Epaphroditus.

Paul describes him as a brother, a fellow worker, and a fellow soldier—showing us that true joy in relationships comes when they are balanced, burdened, and brave.

Balanced Relationships – Healthy relationships start with a balanced walk with God.

Burdened Relationships – Joy comes when we care more about others’ needs than our own.

Brave Relationships – Real joy requires sacrifice and courage as we live boldly for Christ.

No matter what we face, we can rejoice because Jesus is our joy. Let’s pursue relationships that bring glory to God and reflect His love.
